CONGRATULATIONS on your acceptance to Footworks Dance Company’s Competition Troupes and Companies.

We are very proud of each of you, and we are super excited to work with everyone in the upcoming dance season. You will be an amazing asset to our team.

If you are accepting team placement in our Premiere or FDC Elite Companies, please watch for emails later in the summer. A few select classes may begin choreography in August. Twinklers and Starz Troupe dancers will begin all choreography in September after fall classes begin.

Team placements are final. As you participate in summer classes, our team of instructors will continue to monitor everyone’s accomplishments. We have a great group of dancers and instructors, and all of our teams are designed for each dancers best training and progress.

Our fall schedule will be finalized sometime in July, after we receive your final registrations. At this time, you should plan that your classes will fall on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday between the times of 4:00 and 9:55 pm. Please note: we do NOT offer many competition classes on Wednesday’s – this day is reserved for select competition groups and solos and duets (most teams meet on Mon, Tues & Thurs). Further, later class times are reserved for older competition groups, solos and duets, we will not have our younger kiddos there during these later times. Class times earlier than 4:30 pm, are usually reserved for select competition groups, solos and duets, as well as technique or ballet/pointe classes.

Competition Dancers are required to take at least 1 summer class or camp. If you have not registered for a class yet, we have openings in our “Summer Beach Party Camps” in July and in the 2nd half of our “Summer Dance Camp” in August. Please register NOW.
ALL team dancers will take at least 1 ballet class. Please select your level ballet class.
All dancers age 8 & up are recommended to take a technique class, however, FDC ELITE dancers are required to take a technique class. Check the box if you are taking technique.
For dancers who were selected for a solo or duet, please confirm your registration. We have a few duet/trio requests that we have not been able to accommodate at this time, but we will let you know if anything changes. If you have a partner in mind, please let us know.
Twinkler Troupe competition groups will be tap and lyrical. Starz Troupe (pre-teen/teen) core competition group will be lyrical (if you are interested in an additional competition jazz group, please check the box on your registration – we will make a final determination on jazz for Teen/Pre-teen Starz Dancers based on interest in your responses (currently this is pending and to be determined). Starz Troupe (junior/pre-teen) core competition group is lyrical with a jazz competition option. Premiere Company Dancers will be in a jazz and lyrical competition group AND will need to select either the Tap Competition Co or Performance Competition Co (genre of teacher choice) or select both tap and performance companies. ALL junior/preteen dancerswill be asked if they are interested in a Hip Hop Co (we will make a final determination on this class based on your responses and time availability and this class is pending/to be determined). FDC Elite dancers will be in a performance competition group (genre of teachers choice), a jazz competition group, a lyrical competition group and at least 2 additional classes per choices offered (or more).
Pre-Teens – select preteens may be offered a modern company – if interested, be sure to include this on your registration.—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that you are accepted on a FDC competition company or troupe, what should you do next?

Read the policies and etiquette. When you register for a company/team at Footworks, you are accepting the studio policies, team contracts and guidelines for the season, from August 2023 to July 2024. Here is the link to our policies and contracts: https://www.footworksdancecompany.com/_files/ugd/4150aa_6a0bd9ebf5c248fa896489 7a56be0b15.pdf
Please read the individual team requirements, as well.
Return any requested information by June 25 or within 10 days of team acceptance.
SUMMER: make sure you have registered for a summer class or camp.
A $30 registration fee, or $40 per family registration fee, is due upon registration. Once you have registered, this will be charged automatically to the card on file, in the coming weeks, if you have not done so on your own. A $70 tuition deposit is also due at this time. This deposit will be applied to your last tuition payment due. Please see more on this deposit in your competition information packet. If you have not done so by June 25 on your own, this fee will automatically be charged to your account in the coming weeks.
Tuition Payments: Summer class/camp fees will be due in the month of the class. Fall Tuition will be September 1 in accordance with your payment option choice. If you would like to pay in full, pay the full amount on or before Sept 1. If you wish to pay by the semester, make a semester payment on or before September 1. If you do not make your desired tuition payment option on or before September 1, we will consider you a monthly payer and will automatically charge the card on file for a monthly payment between September 2 and September 15. After September, you can plan that automatic monthly payment will be charged during the first week of each month. Please note that auto payments are subject to an additional service charge and are included in your tuition chart already.
Costume fees will be due in September and prices range from $69 - $125 per class (average prices are between $80 and $90 for competition classes). Please make your payment on or before September 30, otherwise we will automatically charge the card on file in early October. We also offer a 2 payments option for costumes this season for competition group dances - automatically charged on (Sept 15 and Oct 15) if you select the 2 pay option (a service charge of $5 applies).
Competition fees will be due in full for the competition in 45 – 75 days in advance . We will be offering a group competition fee monthly payment option for dancers. If you so choose, we will automatically charge the card on file for your group dances between the months of September and February, during the first week of the month (6 months)(a $10 service charge applies). The amount is still being determined based on our final competition schedule and fees. Fees generally range from $65 - $90 per group dance per competition. If you do not choose the monthly option, please watch for the due dates and pay in a timely manner, as we cannot register you without payment. Solos and duets will simply be due within the 45 -75 day time frame, when you register in your portals. Most competitions charge a media fee. When possible, we will include this in your 6 payments, if this is your chosen payment method.
Once we receive everyone’s class/team selections, we will work on the final schedule. Watch for this schedule to come later this summer.
